To bring a child to life, the mother goes through sleepless nights, uncomfortable mornings and excruciating (极痛苦的)birth pains. And the father supports the mother and takes care of the child like a superhero. 36There are many ways in which you can convey your love to your friends and spouse. But how do you express your love and gratitude to your parents? Here are some tips.
37 Parents never plan to have a bad relationship with their children. However, things can go wrong, especially since parenting is one of the toughest things to do. When you create positive thoughts about your parents, you will be more likely to respect and love them.
Make them your priority. You were your parents' priority once and still are. Maybe your mother left her job to look after you or your father worked extra hours to ensure that you have better chances in life than he had. Since the day you were born, most of their decisions were based on you. 38
Calm them down when they are angry. 39 Even if you feel tense, try to restrain yourself and avoid saying bad words. With age, your parents may become capricious(反复无常的). Don't pay attention to what they are saying if they are only speaking out of anger.
If you disagree with them, don't be rude to them. You might not agree with many of your parents' opinions, and you might be right. 40You can still hear them out and then make your own decisions. Good communication can bridge the generation gap between you and your parents.
A. Respect and be grateful to your parents.
B. Therefore, it's time for you to return the favour,
C. Develop a positive attitude towards your parents.
D. They do all of these in the hope of a good life for their child.
E. But you should still ask their opinions before making a decision.
F. However, you don't have to make a point by loudly disagreeing with them.
G. Be tolerant of your parents when they are in a bad mood and try not to upset them.
